I played the £100 event last night in Edinburgh and my whole objective was to try and win enough for the £500 main event at the weekend.
We get to the cash places with 13th taking £190 and winner £4800.
The question now goes round the final 2 tables, why don't we take £1000 each, I ask who gets the £500 main event seat and the reply is whoever is the chipleader........OMG it's me!!
I have 150k, nearest is 130k and most are sitting between 50-80k, shortest stack is around 30k.
I took this deal, however was lambasted (as were the other 12) by others who did not make the final 13 for doing such a deal.
Now, I entered this event solely with the objective of winning enough to enter the main event, £500 is way outside my bankroll. I now have the chance to pick up £1k and take my seat at the main event.......was I wrong?
I don't think I was, the stacks were such that I was never guaranteed to even ladder to £500, i have someone telling me I can have the seat to the main event and £1k.............sorry, in the interests of bankroll management, I'm taking this thank you very much.
P.S.
You can consider this a partial brag post.
